Eight FFA members traveled to Wisconsin Dells to participate in the Mission/Impact Leadership Conference. FFA members worked with state and national FFA officers to learn valuable leadership skills to bring back to our community. Members also completed a food drive to supply local food banks in the Dells area with needed supplies going into the holiday season.
SADD/FACT
We are presently partnering with Douglas County Drug Prevention Coalition and Sara White to help us with upcoming events. The Trunk or Treat events in Poplar and Maple were amazing! Special thanks to the Fantastic Four who handed out candy that evening! And, Maria Lockwood was on campus to interview the 3 students who hosted a table for the Great American Smoke-Out. Thanks to all who took bags of “tools” to help with smoking cessation. Our next event is on Friday, December 5 at NHS as we host a free movie night for our district. All students are invited to the NHS commons to watch “The Grinch” from 6:00-8:30. If the student is 12 or younger, an adult must be with the student. And, we will have some refreshments. Also, there will be a holiday decoration station! WE are excited to host this event!
Student Council
The Student Council planned a fun Halloween Assembly that was held on October 31st. Advisories competed in a “TP Mummy” contest; students had one minute to wrap their advisor in toilet paper and the winning trio won ice cream treats for their whole class. Then 35+ brave people learned a dance routine to Thriller and one winner was selected to win a $50 cash prize. The assembly ended with a costume contest; the top 3 costumes/groups earned $25, $50, & $75. The focus has now shifted to December where we will sponsor a door-decorating contest, a community toy drive for KIN, and dress-up days the week before winter break. It’ll be a busy … and super fun … month!
